typeclassifies the reading according to some useful typology. Sample values include: 1] substantive; 2] orthographic
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.enumerated
Sample values include:
substantive
the reading offers a substantive variant.
orthographic
the reading differs only orthographically, not in substance, from other readings.
causeclassifies the cause for the variant reading, according to any appropriate typology of possible origins. Sample values include: 1] homeoteleuton; 2] homeoarchy; 3] paleographicConfusion; 4] haplography; 5] dittography; 6] falseEmendation
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.enumerated
Sample values include:
homeoteleuton
homeoarchy
paleographicConfusion
haplography
dittography
falseEmendation
varSeq(variant sequence) provides a number indicating the position of this reading in a sequence, when there is reason to presume a sequence to the variants.
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.count
Note

Different variant sequences could be coded with distinct number trails: 1-2-3 for one sequence, 5-6-7 for another. More complex variant sequences, with (for example) multiple branchings from single readings, may be expressed through the join element.

Note

This element class defines attributes inherited by rdg, lem, and rdgGrp.
